The cast of 'The Crown' ranked by net worth

Jeremy Northam was no stranger to historical English dramas before his role as Prime Minister Anthony Eden. He appeared in period pieces like “Emma,” “The Winslow Boy,” and “Gosford Park,” earning about $3 million on the way.

Tobias Menzies has done a great job as the second iteration of Prince Philip. He too had experience with period pieces, though his roles were distinctly outside British history in series like “Rome” and “Outlander.”

Vanessa Kirby has already distinguished herself as a top-tier actress with her role as Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of “The Crown.” Recently she’s been building on that success with ˙er role in “Pieces of a Woman,” along with some money-making roles in “Mission Impossible” and “Fast and Furious” movies.

The series’ original queen, Claire Foy earned a Golden Globe for her performance in “The Crown,” and she ties Kirby with $4 million in total wealth.

Olivia Colman has a thing for playing queens, having recently starred as both Queen Elizabeth II in “The Crown” and Queen Anne in “The Favourite,” winning a Golden Globe for the former and an Oscar for the latter, among many other nominations — and 6 million bucks too.

Playing The Doctor in “Doctor Who” turned out to be quite lucrative for Matt Smith, who has a hefty $9 million to his name. No wonder he could bring some gravitas to the role of Prince Philip for the first two seasons.

Though her role as Wallis Simpson wasn’t the most impactful of all in “The Crown,” Geraldine Chaplin brought her acting prowess and panache to the role. The daughter of Charlie Chaplin makes her Hollywood royalty, but she earned plenty of her $20 million fortune herself.

A quarter of a century on “The X-Files” did a lot of good for Gillian Anderson’s career and her bank account. The actress is worth an estimated $40 million, but that hasn’t slowed her down in recent days with her roles as Margaret Thatcher in “The Crown” as well as shows like “Sex Education” and the upcoming anthology series “The First Lady.”

Playing Winston Churchill is easy for a long-time ace actor like John Lithgow. The star has appeared in everything from “The World According to Garp” to “The Pelican Brief” to “Footloose.”

“The Crown” got a huge boost with the addition of Helena Bonham Carter in season 3, taking over and matching the intensity of Vanessa Kirby in the role of Princess Margaret. The star far outpaces most of her co-stars with a total fortune of $60 million.
